A Christmas Gift--Creative Inspirations Blog Hop

Welcome to the Creative Inspirations Paints Holiday Blog Hop! If you came from the Creative Inspirations Paints blog, you are in the right place. If you just started on my blog, you might want to start at the beginning of the hop at Creative Inspirations Paints blog. You don't want want to miss out on all the wonderful inspiration!
As you visit each blog, be sure to collect all of the letters from each blog for your chance at winning the blog candy prize. We are giving away 3 CI paints, 3 glitters, and 3 embossing powders to be chosen by the winner. You have until 6:00 p.m. Eastern time on Sunday to comment. The winner will be chosen Sunday evening.

My project today is a gift card holder box. The design of the box is from the Technique Junkies new 3D and Fun Folds CD. These pictures show the four sides of the box. Each side I decorated with a die cut which I cut from watercolor paper and painted with Creative Inspirations Paints. The paints are so vibrant and shimmery. They really make a festive looking box.

About Me

I am Barbara Washington. I live in Chicago with my two daughters, my grandson and granddaughter, and four cats. For many years I worked as a librarian in the local college system. Now I am retired and I have discovered that I enjoy creating art. I started rubber stamping over fifteen years ago as something to play with, but it has grown into a passion. I love making cards and atc's, but I also love trying new techniques and using new media. Over the years I have made the acquaintance of many on-line friends. I have benefited so much from the sharing of art and ideas through swaps, challenges and dialog.
